    Thanks to Amazon Prime I gave Elvis Costello's My Aim Is True a shot. I came away very impressed. I really liked the overall flow of the album. I did a quick search and found out it's a recommended album of the 70's. I plan on buying this one on my next trip to Rasputins.

    Lou Reed ~ (self titled)

    Can't say I'm impressed. Luckily most of the songs were later released as 'lost' Velvet Underground versions which are vastly superior to this.

    T2 - It'll All Work Out in Boomland.

    Ditched my vinyl about 12 years ago but only just replaced this one on CD. Still a great album and the extra tracks are great too. Rushed out and bought the two further archive releases immediately.

    Some of the songs were really great. Some of the others sounded dated. Overall a great sounding record from the early 80s

    CD version likely, from Apple Music, but I also have the LP as well, wasn't aware there was a difference so I will check it out on LP as well. Thanks.

    It's a mixed bag, some of the arrangements work pretty good, considering the circumstances (a pop album, stacked with session musicians to relaunch his career).

    Some of the Velvets versions of the songs are nowhere near finished (eg 'Love makes you feel' from the Loaded sessions). Would've been nice if he'd recorded those songs in the studio with a rough-and-ready band like the Tots (his touring band 1972-3) though.

    I have been on the fence about Emotional Rescue due to many of the comments I have heard about it. The same with Undercover. I was thinking about holding off on those for a little while but I may decide to give them a try.

    Sad to say, missed that, too.
    Same thing happened to me with Love's Forever Changes. Oh man, when I think about the opportunities I had to see Arthur and the spectacular band he toured with when they played the entire album. Guts me. Ah well, can't see everything, and thank God for YouTube.

    Love,
    Billy

    Side two was much better ( I was listening to it for the first time when I wrote that post) No girlies but the band still complicated most of the songs which should have been a lot sparcer. A sympathetic producer could have ironed out some of the bumps.

    yes. I always associated her with cheesy films that other people's parents presumably watched. But Ms. Day was really a singer, and she could really sing. I got into her music in a very roundabout way, hearing John Updike, my favorite author from the 20th Century, quoted as being a big admirer of hers along with the more expected references to both Bach and some 30's Americana. Doris Day is great stuff.

    The first two are among my top favorites all time. And the third is great also. Great to hear these awesome albums are still getting new fans.

    This was a first listen for me recently. Been attempting to sample old hip hop from the 1990's when time permits.

    I have had a copy of Barnstorm [DSX50130] sitting on a stack of records I picked up that I haven't had a chance to clean up and integrate into the collection. Probably been sitting for 3x months.

    Put it on this morning for the 1st time and have been very happily surprised that it is not at all what I expected. I'm going to keep this on rotation for a while before filing it away.

    Side A has more surface noise than I love for headphone playback but all in all a good find for about $1. :targettiphat:
